The Dynamics of Corporate Change
The Chinese word for change is an incorporation of two symbols: danger and opportunity. Although they may represent two opposites, it is exactly that point that makes change such a complex issue. An understanding of these opposites will enable both management and employee to recognize and even embrace change as a vehicle to professional AND personal fulfillment.
Most everyone is affected by corporate change, although it manifests itself in varying degrees and various ways in each individual. But since change may be the only constant in life, it becomes necessary to learn how to deal with it, because it can either strengthen or destroy any company or individual. And the best part is that YOU GET TO CHOOSE which direction you go!
This seminar will enlighten each participant as to the many facets of “change dynamics” in an inspirational and fun experience that will not be soon forgotten. It goes well beyond information but deals with the obvious and hidden emotional reactions that affect individuals and companies alike. You will laugh, cry, and be left with a powerful message that can have a most profound effect. As with each Standing Ovations seminar experience, there will be a short Make It Happen component that will focus on the individual, which is the building block for all the other seminar issues.

With All Asian Countertrade Management and Staff
1. Make it Happen component
2. Personal and Professional Conflicts with ChangeThis section will highlight all the potential problems that change creates and will discuss them in very non threatening, humorous manner. We will deal with stress, deteriorating creativity and production, worry, absence of risk taking, motivational decline, and “backroom whisperings in the workplace”
3. Creation of Trust and Respect
This segment is integral in reorganizing company priorities. Every decision will ultimately need to work toward these goals if any positive change is to happen. This engaging component will involve several “participation” and “improvisational” activities that enlighten each participant as to their role in the change process.
4. The 3 Levels of Change
A. Coping with change - the immediate goal
B. Handling change - the short term goal
C. Managing change - the long term goal
5. Importance of Inclusion
This part will identify the many ways that employees should participate in the change process. Should time allow, a short practicum for both management and employees will deal with areas of expertise and procedures for professional input
6. Getting Better TOGETHER
When you look at the companies who thrive, who innovate, who enjoy their work, you also see people who have made a commitment to something larger than their work…… they have made a commitment to each other! They embrace and/or work through changes TOGETHER, they are willing to put aside self serving pettiness for the greater good, and they understand that each individual is important to the total picture.
Unfortunately, most struggling or underachieving companies never quite grasp this concept. It is a Standing Ovations belief that any attempt at corporate improvement that does not address this issue is doomed from the beginning. This component will heighten awareness to the possibilities that cooperation and attitude can bring to the dynamics of change. Several interesting and revealing case studies and applicable techniques will make this segment a thought provoking conclusion to this workshop.
Although this seminar will be highly entertaining, make no mistake: every important element of change will be discussed and/or integrated into this seminar, and each participant will leave with the necessary tools for a positive “embrace” of the possibilities that change can bring.
